Scholastic Book Fair
The Scholastic Bookfair is coming again! November 6 and 7 from 4:15 - 8:00pm (concurrent with Parent-Teacher Interviews).
We're thrilled to invite you to browse through a fantastic selection of books to add to your family library. We encourage all children to participate and let their imagination soar. It's a fun way to celebrate the joy of reading.
Payment by debit/credit card is preferred, but we can also accept cash.
Food Hampers
If there are families that can benefit from a food hamper, please contact Mrs. Sutton at rose.sutton@spschools.org no later than November 15.
The requested hampers will be available for pick up from our school on December 12 and 13.
Hall of Heroes
We have an opportunity every year to honour those who served our country and those who are presently in active duty.
If you are new to the school (or have a new person to honour) and would like to add a photo for our Hall of Heroes, please email Mrs. Sutton at rose.sutton@spschools.org.
Include their name, rank and year(s) they served, and (if provided to us) we can print a copy of the photo as well.
KPA Bear Tracks Ice Melter Fundraiser
It's back! Kinosayo Parents Association is excited to be bringing back the Bear Track Ice Melt Fundraiser! Last year we sold 305 pails and raised over $3,500 for the KPA to purchase items for Kinosayo!
BEAR TRACKS ice melter provides a safe and efficient way to melt ice and compacted snow on sidewalks and driveways. It is a useful product for both residential and commercial areas to ensure that traffic areas are kept ice free and safe for pedestrians. Bear Tracks Ice Melter is pet friendly, fast acting, long lasting, highly visible blue marker and safe on concrete and vegetation.
Bear Tracks Ice Melter is $30 for a 16 kg/35lb pail
Forms are being sent home, so check your kiddos backpack, find it attached below, or order online HERE! Order form return deadline is Monday, November 2, 2024.
EMT's can be sent to keenofundraising@gmail.com (Please include your child's name, class and # of pails ordered in the email!)
We will also be having a school challenge!
When the school sells the below amounts, everyone will receive the following:
- $2,000 - Hot Chocolate for the entire school
- $4,000 - One day with 30 minutes of extra recess
- $6,000 - A Toboggan & Skating Party
PLUS, the class that sells the most pails, wins a pizza party!
Happy Thanksgiving & thank you for supporting the KPA!
